alexc1209- This is the final chapter, and it will indeed be a happy ending. I hope you enjoy it. :)
excentricaluli- It's nice to be back. :)
This is the last chapter for Sarah and Jareth, at least in this fanfiction of mine. I have another one about Jareth and Sarah, but I have to fix it up. It primarily focus's on Sarah's niece Amelia, who has just watched Labyrinth for the first time with her mother, and then strange things start to happen. So far, I like it. I hope to love it just as much as I love this story. I'm actually really sorry to be ending this one. :( This fanfiction will stick with me for a very long time after I finish it.
Well, I hope you like it! Please review and let me know. :)
10 years later-
Jareth stared at Sarah as the sun poured in their bedroom window and settled on her face. There was a time that Jareth thought this would never happen, especially after Darrin had nearly ruined everything, so he relished in it whenever he could. "Daddy!" Valentina came running into the room with her brown eyes and straight blonde hair. Jareth smiled as Valentina jumped into the bed with him and Sarah. "Can we wake mommy up so we can eat breakfast?"
"Mommy is awake." Sarah murmured as she opened her eyes slightly. She looked over at Jareth and grabbed his hand. "Would you please go wake up Alecia, Jareth Jr., and Desiree?" Within the last ten years, Sarah and Jareth had two more children. Alecia and Jareth Jr. Desiree had been the child that was wished away. Once Sarah met her, she couldn't let her go. She instantly fell in love. "We have to get them fed, showered, and dressed for the ball tonight."
"Of course my love." Jareth bent down to Sarah and gave her a kiss as Valentina made a face that clearly showed she thought it was gross.
Sarah couldn't wait for the ball tonight. King Abott and Queen Esmerald were retiring, and Sarah and Jareth were going to be the new King and Queen of the whole Underground. The reason King Abott and Queen Esmerald were retiring was because once everything settled down, they had another baby. Jareth had another little sister. King Abott had been praying for a little boy. Queen Esmerald told him they would try again. Sarah wasn't sure what the cutoff age was to stop having babies in the Underground, but she figured that with the way age went here, she could probably have at least four more children if she really wanted to. She just hadn't talked to Jareth about it yet.
After a few minutes, Jareth came in with the other children who were all rubbing the sleep out of their eyes. "Mommy, why do we have to get up so early?"
Sarah smiled, picked Alecia up, and put her on the bed. "Because darling, today is the day of the ball! Don't you want to get ready?" All of the children jumped up and down screaming in excitement. "Well then, it's time to eat, take baths, and then get dressed." She ushered all of the children into the dining room, where they all had their own thrones with their names engraved in them. Carlida brought in scrambled eggs, bacon, ham, toast, orange juice, milk, and lots of fruits. Sarah remembered this being the very first breakfast she had when she was brought here. Thinking about it now, she wondered why she had fought him for so long. Had Sarah just given into Jareth sooner, she could have had Valentina earlier.
The kids all eagerly grabbed at the food, and stuffed their faces. Sarah was all of a sudden glad that Jareth had suggested the children take a class on etiquette. She didn't want the children to act like animals their whole life. "Mommy, why do I not look like you or daddy, but the others do?" Desiree asked, with a frown.
This was something that Sarah thought was going to be a question from Desiree years from now. She instantly turned towards Jareth. Knowing that Jareth would tell her the exact truth now, Sarah began before Jareth could. "Well honey, when you were just a baby, you were put up for adoption. The moment I saw you, I had to have you! I fell in love with you instantly." It was pretty much the truth, but not exactly the truth.
"So, I am not really your daughter?"
Sarah got out of he chair and ran right over to where Desiree was sitting, almost in tears. "Oh my sweet girl, you are my daughter. You will always be my daughter. I love you just as much as I love Alecia and JJ." Sarah looked over at Jareth, who grimaced at the use of the name JJ. He absolutely hated it. He protested against calling Jareth Jr. JJ, but he couldn't sway Sarah. She only did it to aggravate him and he knew it. Sarah was still her feisty self when she wanted to be, and Jareth wouldn't have it any other way.
Desiree began smiling. "Do you mean it mommy?" Sarah nodded and kissed Desiree on the forehead.
After breakfast, Jareth took Jareth Jr. to his room, where he helped him get showered and dressed, while Sarah brought Alecia, Valentina, and Desiree into their room and helped them get showered and dressed. Jareth Jr. was dressed in a black tuxedo that made his blue eyes pop and a small crown that was a miniature of the one Jareth was going to receive tonight. Alecia was wearing a beautiful dress that was royal red, and had a tulle skirt with a little tiara that matched. Desiree was wearing a baby blue dress that accentuated her red curly hair and had a little tiara that matched her dress. Valentina wore a bright neon pink dress, that had ruffles flowing down from her tiny waist and she also had a tiara that matched.
Sarah looked over her three daughters and realized how lucky she was to have such an amazing family. Just then, Jareth walked into the girls room with JJ and he gasped. Jareth hadn't realized how beautiful his daughters really were. That's when the dread set in. "You three are never allowed to grow up!" He looked at Sarah who was laughing. "Would you like to get ready first, or shall I, my love?"
"I would love to get ready first. If you don't mind."
"Not at all, you go get ready and I will take care of our babies."
Sarah ran to her room, where she jumped into the shower, then got dressed with Carlida's help. Sarah worse a velvet lilac colored mermaid dress. It was the first time that she hadn't worn a ball gown to one of the many balls that Jareth and his family had hosted in the last ten years. Carlida helped Sarah curl her hair, just the way Jareth liked it and then helped put her makeup on.
As soon as Sarah waltzed into the girl's room, Jareth's mouth dropped. "My love, you are absolutely stunning in that dress." He walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her. "I can't wait to take it off later." He whispered in her ear and Sarah giggled. After all these years, she still got butterflies in her stomach when Jareth was around her. Jareth hurriedly left the room and came back ten minutes later, looking very much like he had when Sarah first came to the labyrinth. Jareth smiled as he noticed Sarah's demeanor change. He could see the love and hunger for him in her eyes. "Am I presentable?" Jareth didn't take as long as Sarah had to get ready. Of course, he used his magic while Sarah got ready the regular way. No magic needed.
"Definitely, my love." Sarah responded as she placed a kiss on his lips.
Finally, it was time for King Abott and Queen Esmerald to retire, and as they placed the crowns on Jareth and Sarah's heads, everyone erupted into applause. Sarah turned towards Jareth and asked him, "How does it feel to be rightful King of your kingdom?"
Jareth grabbed her hand and placed a kiss on the back of it. "Not as good as it feels to have you by my side, my love." Sarah blushed. "I am extremely sorry that your father could not be here."
It was the first time that they had talked about Robert since his death two years ago. "He's here in spirit." Sarah remembered going home to find Robert on the floor of the living room, dead. He had died of a heart attack. Sarah was devastated and had spent an entire month with Karen and Toby. She wanted to make sure that they were well taken care of before she left. When it was time for Sarah to go home, Jareth suggested that Toby and Karen come to live in the Underground. It took some convincing, but Karen ultimately said yes. "At least the children have their uncle around." It was exactly what Sarah had wanted. She wanted her whole family together.
Before their final dance, Sarah took Jareth to the far side of the room. "Is something wrong my love?"
Sarah smiled sweetly. "No. Not wrong."
"Then what is it Precious?"
Sarah's smile got wider. "I'm pregnant."
